Most difficult hike of the season yet
Steep mountain, no clear path, had to backtrack a few times, rain picked up hard about half way up the hill. I put on a raincoat, but it was too late.
Downhill took twice as long. I slipped and slid twice. The trekking poles saved me again

Sweet. Spent 10 days doing the high altitude trekking program from there in 1994. One of my top 10 life memories. Western Himalayan mountaineering institute.
